Job description

Milling Machinist

Reputable, well-respected and trusted welding and machine shop in business for 25 years, and specializing in precision machining, fabrication, welding, waterjet, and laser cutting, has an opportunity for an experienced milling machinist to contribute to the success of our organization. We take on the challenging, tight-tolerance work that demands real skill, and we build teams of people who take pride in that.


Reporting to the president, the milling machinist will be responsible for setting up and operating manual and CNC milling equipment to produce precision components for a wide range of industrial customers. Our machinists work in a clean, climate-controlled shop on well-maintained equipment, and they're rewarded for it competitive pay, a profit-sharing incentive program , and a company that puts employees and their families first.


Essential responsibilities


Set up and operate manual and CNC vertical/horizontal milling machines to produce parts per print.

Select and install appropriate tooling, work holding, speeds, and feeds for each job.

Write or make basic CNC programs (Mazatrol) for new setups; modify existing programs as needed.

Perform first-article setup approval before running production quantities.

Run multi-operation jobs requiring multiple setups, fixtures, or datum shifts.


Quality & Inspection

  • Read and interpret mechanical drawings, GD&T callouts, and work orders with full proficiency.
  • Inspect parts using precision instruments.
  • Perform in-process checks to catch deviations before they become scrap.
  • Execute deburring and finishing operations to meet surface finish requirements.
  • Document inspection results and communicate non-conformances to the supervisor promptly.


Troubleshooting & Problem Solving

  • Diagnose and resolve machining issues, chatter, tool wear, dimensional drift, and surface finish problems.
  • Make real-time adjustments to toolpaths, offsets, and setups to maintain tolerance compliance.
  • Collaborate with teammates and supervisors to find solutions on challenging or first-run parts.


Maintenance & Safety

  • Perform routine preventative maintenance on milling equipment to minimize downtime.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation at all times.
  • Follow all shop safety protocols including PPE, machine guarding, and lockout/tagout procedures.
  • Report equipment issues or wear patterns before they become failures.


Essential Qualifications

  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical blueprints and GD&T without assistance
  • Proficiency with precision measuring instruments: micrometers, calipers, indicators
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing work right the first time
  • Physically capable of lifting up to 50 lbs and standing for extended periods
  • Dependable, team-oriented, and motivated to grow


Preferred

  • 2+ years of milling experience in a job shop or manufacturing environment
  • CNC milling experience — setup, operation, and basic program editing
  • Familiarity with Mazak, or similar CNC machining centers
  • Experience with multi-axis milling or complex fixture
  • Machinist training, vocational certification, or apprenticeship program completion

What Makes This Role Stand Out

No two weeks are the same. You'll work on a wide variety of parts, materials, and customer applications. That variety keeps skilled machinists sharp and engaged. Add in a clean, climate-controlled environment, a Monday–Friday schedule, and a team that genuinely cares about doing good work, and this is the kind of shop that serious machinists don't want to leave.


Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Short and long-term disability
  • 401(k)
  • PTO
  • Competitive pay
  • Annual profit-sharing bonus
  • Paid vacation and holidays
  • Paid lunch break
  • Clean, fully climate-controlled shop


Work Location: In person
